policy related expenditures) were analysed statistically with components of public policy assets included in the LHDIPI . A detailed analysis is presented in Chapter 4. Taking into consideration the nature of the LHDI dimensions of health and education, one may describe it a “high momentum” index, the changes of which reflect the process of change in a longer timeframe. Today’s investments in health and education may show their effects in 5 years or even later. One must be careful when using the LHDI to evaluate the impact of public policy on the changes in the LHDI value from year to year. A long-term analysis is recommended, which relates to strategic goals and an evaluation of public policy in the long run. For that purpose, the changes in the index value can yield sufficient information on the policy’s effectiveness.
